Default Best tire shoppe in the area?

Hi guys! I just joined the site after lurking for almost a year. I'm friends with "grantelgie" and he referred me to the site a while back. I drive a '07 SWP STi on gold rims. I'm looking for a GOOD tire shoppe anywhere between Windsor and London and preferably one that has a tire changer with the robotic arm that pulls the tire bead over the rim lip to guarantee NO SCRATCHES. Odds are there are places in Toronto that have these changers but I'd like to find someone more local to the Chatham-Kent area if possible. Let me know if you can point me in the right direction. Thanks!

My dad is the service manager of the Canadian Tire on Huron st. I'll ask him if he knows of a shop that has this equipment.

I've called everywhere (Windsor, London, Chatham) and no one seems to have this machine. I have an appointment with Cottingham's in Tilbury tomorrow morning. They sound pretty confident so we'll see how it goes I guess.

Duch, are you the one from Windsor with the insane blue WRX?

Ummm....gt30r STi FTW!! I've always been a Honda guy at heart....this is my first Subaru...so the S2K is cool too, especially a 400whp version! Tough decision to make, but sounds like a win/win/win to me....

Oh, just to close out this thread...had the tires swapped at Cottingham's in Tilbury and they did a good job. Maybe...just maybe I'll trust them with my new RAYS rims in the spring. We'll see....
